I'm kinda interested in the weird and overkill methods of fighting available in Adventure Mode. One of the things I distinctly recall as a thing doable is using a coffin filled with the corpse of every creature you have ever killed as a bludgeoning weapon, thereby having something considerably heavier than any normal weapon made of Slade to bash creatures with, frequently splattering anything struck. After it flies several miles.
I specify Adventure Mode because I don't want to see a hundred diagrams of lava cannons or trap halls of particularly cruel types.

I remember seeing someone play pokemon by throwing sacks of heads and reanimating them as they hit an enemy.

Gm-editor is fun. Teleport enemies 50 z-levels up! Teleport enemies 50 z-levels down! Teleport enemies into lava! Vapourize weapons! Vapourize creatures! Turn creatures into wagons!
-
Gain enough kills with a corpse that it becomes a named historical weapon.
I'm not sure if this works, but it would be fun if it did.

Using your most recent victim's corpse as a temporary bludgeon is always a fun time.
Coins also make for terrifyingly effective thrown objects. You're never gonna kill anybody with them, but they can break bones, are very hard to dodge, and are very plentiful.

Kagaroo attack, jump on them.
-
Throw live bees. A single hive contains a stack of thousands. The Paaaaain!

I usually find myself going on hunts for creature guts when I fight. I disembowel them and use their guts as a weapon. I find small, humanoid creatures often have the most force in the smallest surface area. So kobold guts can actually be more effective than some blunt weapons.

Wear 100 mail shirts
Hold onto 100 shields
Stuff dead megabeasts into backpack and use it as a bludgeon.

Stuff a few dead megabeasts into a coffin. Instant Explode-o-nator.

Go up to someone, big guy, slap 'em upside the head, right?
Now turn and run like there is a great big fucker chasin' after ya, cuzza there just might be, and now this next part is prolly sumthin ah shoulda said first but ah dinna ken rememberinged it: head straight for the tallest sheer surface you can climb and do your damndest 'mpersanashun 'a wunna those uh... lil sticky lizard dudes what sells insurance?
So, once you get high enough what ya could really scrape yer knee bad what for if'n ya fell, wait for tha big feller to climb up below ya.
See, he's not gonna be thinking very well, what being tired, angry, and scared o' tha risk of a quick trip back down, ya ken?
So, odds are he'll try to punch ya like a damn fool, so ya needsta get yerself set up so yer abouts ta' catch the punch with one hand, and the next part is gonna surprise the fuck outta both 'a ya, ready?
Let go of tha wall courtesy of stretchin' out above tha big angry git at the same time as ya catch 'is punch, then smile madly, and ride the fucker into the dirt!

Throwing people to the ground, then jumping on them to ride them around like gory skateboards!
